TWO-STRIP CROPPING | 
Generally speaking, it is better to keep shifting the P. M. Gs. 
from one crop to another and in the method of ‘‘two-strip ”’ 
cropping the P:M.Gs. are shifted backwards and forwards 
between two adjacent strips of soil. A set of 10 P.M.Gs. will 
require an area 4 feet by 15 feet and four crops a year can 
be grown. Here is a suggested rotation : 
PEAS. Sow in early February and keep covered until early 
April when the crop reaches the roof of the P.M.Gs. Then 
remove the glass and let the peas finish in the open. 
BUSH LIMAS. Sow under P-M.Gs. in early April and 
keep covered until the end of May, when most of frost has 
passed. 
MELONS. As soon the peas are cropped, clear the land 
and put out musk melon plants, one under every other 
P.M.G. and keep covered until the weather is really hot. 
Have the P.M.Gs. on end to protect the plants from late frost 
and wind. 
SPINACH. When the bush limas have finished, clear the 
ground and sow Winter spinach—this will be early September. 
At the end of the month, move the P.M.Gs. from the melons 
on to the spinach and keep the crop covered rove neu the 
Winter.
